The most recent blowout loss of this season came on Friday, as the Milwaukee Bucks completely no-showed against the lowly Hornets. That the Bucks got boatraced in one game is a non-issue, but we’re no longer talking about one poor performance.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Milwaukee Bucks have not played like a great basketball team lately. In fact, they’ve been a mediocre basketball team for over two months now, and the flaws are becoming too glaring to ignore. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s star shines brightly enough to ignore the blemishes for a little while, but his nine-point outing against Charlotte (by far his lowest scoring game of the season) was a flicker that we’ve seen from the team more and more lately.
